Let's hope there is another fix because I'm gonna be pissed to high heaven if the Generation One forum is gone for good. There were almost 20,000 posts in that clan forum.

Backups are taken every hour, I'm guessing that someone pressed the wrong button, and used a backup that was taken when the server came back online (therefore restoring the damage)

If nothing else, the forum could at least be restored to a day or two ago, it should be fixable, how long will it take before it's fixed is the question.

geeez guys, give 'em a break. Its not as simple as 'pressing a button'. You've also got to isolate the error and make sure its not going to happen again. This stuff takes time.

How about in a normal game, turn started, cards cashed, then server went down? Anything you guys can do? Thanks

No worries, I should be in bed anyways. I'm sure the forums will straighten themselves out eventually.

Funnily enough, I happened to have on of the topics in the Not Yet Banned bookmarked, and the forum lets me go directly to that topic, and its own forum (Forum Games), but when I try to go the Not Yet Banned, it says the forum does not exist..... :?:

That's because Forum Games still exists in the Map Foundry.

Hey folks,

We're still working with the data center to get things fixed. All the data should still be there, it's just a matter of getting it back and merged from the backup or wherever it ended up in the nether regions of rackspace's data center.

For the record, it's not as simple as pressing a button, it's not a phpBB crash, it's a database corruption. That would be akin to comparing Firefox crashing to a BSOD ;)

It's thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, and I Lack and I only really spend one weekend a year with family, so we're working as hard as we can to get the forum back and not piss off family and significant others at the same time :)

Hang in there, spamming will resume soon ;)

That's just hilarious, isn't it Hulmey? How about if you don't have anything to add you stay out of the thread instead of mocking other people's troubles?

Thanks.

I'm absolutely sure that Bones isn't panicking nor wasn't serious, it was more like mocking hulmey :lol:

TKT, I miss your thread, better start sending them by PM to all of us :D

Hmm, G1 really misses the clan forum, this is what happens when you take away somebody's living room where all family can come together [-X

Not a bad idea, I seriously might just do that the way things are looking.

I'm really missing our forum, am wondering what the progress is on getting it back up and going. We need our G1 living room back and stat.

Yeah...I think I check to see if they're back about 1091823 times a day. Rough estimate. :x :roll:
